Griggs erupts for 26 points in loss at No. 5 West Texas A&M

THE LEAD >>>

CANYON, Texas – Freshman Dyamon Griggs matched a career high with 26 points, but it wasn't enough to undo a hot shooting night by the No. 5-ranked West Texas A&M.

The Lady Buffs buried 12 3-pointers to roll to an 87-71 win Friday night at First United Bank Center.

HOW IT HAPPENED >>>

West Texas A&M closed the first half on a 13-4 run fueled by two triples by Zamorye Roberts and another by Azia Himeur to extended its least to 18 taking a 51-33 advantage into the break.

The Lady Buffs led by as many as 28 points in the third quarter before the Mustangs closed the advantage in the fourth.
